A Better Measure of Success
The headline caught my eye, "The Goal: Wealth and Fame." The article in USA Today examined a recent survey of top life goals for the college-age crowd. It surprised me that there was a 33% jump, today versus thirty-eight years ago, in beliefs of college freshman that being financially well off was "essential" or "very important." But what surprised me more was their desire to be famous.

Steve Jobs Commencement
On June 12, 2005, graduates of Stanford University were treated to Apple founder Steve Jobs’ Commencement address. A college dropout himself, Jobs opened his speech by saying, “Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.” Now one of the most respected names in the computer industry, Jobs was invited to the Ivy League school to share his advice and experience with the up-and-coming leaders.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Franchise Straight Out of College
In today’s rapidly changing economy, college graduates realize that embarking on a steady career that will last many years with one company is a reality of the past. More likely than not, college graduates will change jobs multiple times over the course of their professional lives, and job security will be something they only dream of. As a result, more and more young men and women entering the workforce are exploring options outside of the traditional “9-5” job. For the entrepreneurial thinker, buying a franchise will rank high on this list of possibilities. Yet, despite the inarguable success of numerous franchises and countless franchise owners across the country and around the world, is venturing into the franchise business the right choice for a recent college graduate?

It’s Not about Unemployment – It’s about Employability
Employers are discovering increasing numbers of high school graduates who cannot do “applied” math, perform basic measurements and fill out job applications. In other words, “they are graduates who are not employable.”Our culture and our education system are only producing a small percentage of individuals who are taking a “challenging curriculum” so they are truly prepared for the rigors of college or a knowledge-based workplace.” We must understand that our new concern is not unemployment but “employability!”
The “Difficulties” of Obtaining an Accounting Education While Running a Business
If you are interested in trying to enhance your accounting skills (or go further and obtain a college degree) while starting or running your own business at the same time, you are not alone. Believe it or not, the average age of college students today is 27. Many adults are going back to school years after what is considered the “traditional” age for attending college.
Are You Limiting Your Thinking
The more interesting and enlightening you are, the more people will welcome you into their lives and the more opportunity will abound. Learning is not limited to going to school or getting a degree. It's surprising that many people stop feeding their minds after a certain point. For some, that point is high school graduation; for others, it's graduating from college. A large university once took a survey of its recent graduates and found that 90 percent hadn't read a single book since they'd left the university.
The Only Steps You Need To Get Your Dream Job
With outsourcing, downsizing and plant shutdowns increasing, more and more people are finding themselves competing with youthful college graduates as well as their friends for the ever-shrinking supply of desirable jobs. Who do you think gets the best job?
Just Over Broke - A Better Option for Young Entrepreneurs
It seems that too many of us as college graduates are not able to get the income that we need to survive. That is why we must become a new generation of young entrepreneurs.
Teaching Professionalism
According to a new poll conducted for the Center for Professional Excellence (CPE) at York College of Pennsylvania, nearly 60 percent of the hiring decisions for new college graduates are based on assessments of the applicants’ professionalism.
Mixed Outlook for College Grads
While for some of the 2.2 million college-age graduates in the class of 2010, it's a terrible time to be looking for a job, others have companies chasing them.
